Feature Editor
"At last the University of South
Carolina will have a place large
enough for all the students to as
semble at one time." With this
statement The Gamecock of Sep
tember, 1926, announced thp build
ing of proposed Field House.
The chapel had long ago grown
too small for student body meet
ings, and bad coustics had been
responsible for a gymnasium that
had been intended for a chapel
in 1855.
The Gamecock announced that
the new building would be located
behind Steward's Hall and that
everyt ing would be on one floor.
There would be room for two prac
tice courts, which could be turned
into one large varsity court for
inter-collegiate games. The seats
would encircle the court in arena
style. It was announced that
4,000 people could be seated in the
grandstands and that at least 5,
000 could be seated at meetings
by placing chairs on the courts.
Work was begun on the building
that fall. It was one to which
students looked with enthusiasm,
and its building received week by
week publicity. Announcement
was made by The Gamecock that
it would be the largest single span
audlitorium south of Washington,
D. C.
Lockers and dressing rooms
were added, as well as sleeping
quarters and showers for 30 to
save the expense of housing vis
iting teams elsewhere. The Block

"C" Club was given its own club
rooms.
To be a general meeting place
as well as a building for indoor
sports, the Field House was built
to satisfy many needs in Colum
bia. It was to be a convention
hall, a building in which the an
n"'. -tteT .ces etinig could
be held, and a place for graduation
exercises and all student body
meetings.
Other praises were sung for the
Field House. It had one of the
nation's best basketball courts.
The seats were arranged in 12
tiers, with no posts to interfere
with the audience's view. The
floor was birch wood and well
built, and the building was to be
beated by a separate plant from
:he central heating unit. These
ind other unusual features had
3een plans laid by the late Pres.
William Melton, it was announced.
Although the Field House was
m1ot completed until the spring of
L927, the court wvas ready for bas
etball in February. On Feb. 17,
:he first game on the new court
v'as played before 2,000 people, in
i game betwveen USC and the Uni
~ersity of Florida. This was the
targest crowd ever to have as
4embled at a USC game.
The Field House still serves
many duties as a place for meet
ngs and for indoor sports, and
ast year, 6,000 people gathered
here to attend the broadcast of
he Town Meeting of the Air ra
:lio program.
